US EditionCanada Post set to reduce frequency of letter mail delivery: minister
- On September 25, 2025, the federal government announced that Canada Post will reduce door-to-door letter mail delivery frequency nationwide to improve finances.
- The decision follows the Industrial Inquiry Commission's May report calling for sweeping reforms due to Canada Post's insolvency and declining mail volumes.
- The changes include allowing part-time weekend hires to ease weekday workloads, shifting non-urgent mail from air to ground, and expanding community mailbox use.
- Canada Post reported a $407-million loss in Q2 2025, with letter deliveries dropping from 5.5 billion in 2006 to 2 billion by 2024; reforms aim to save over $20 million annually.
- These measures aim to stabilize Canada Post as it faces a prolonged labour dispute and shrinking market share while Canadians accept longer mail delivery times of up to a week.
